The recommended approach is to not rinse after brushing as it washes fluoride in toothpaste off teeth.

Is this the internet equivalent of “Don’t get high on your own supply”?

It definitely used to be the case that if one navigated to the .com domain then currency was in USD (even if within AU)

The .com.au domain was in AUD by default. I don’t believe there was a modal to redirect Australian visitors to the appropriate domain either.

Type 2 fun is a perfect example of the fading effect cognitive bias.

Fading effect bias interestingly causes the emotion associated with negative event memories to generally fade faster than the emotion associated with positive event memories.

You can show/hide terminal windows with a hotkey natively using iTerm2.

Under Preferences > Keys > Hotkey I've set the system-wide hotkey to option+space which means if I need a terminal, I can press those keys and have iTerm pop up over my active window.

Pressing them again hides the window and brings focus back to the previously active window which has been great for productivity.

Boxen (https://github.com/boxen/puppet-boxen) used Puppet to achieve this. It worked, but it was quite opinionated and of course you needed to know Puppet so the learning curve was steep. It's since been superseded by Homebrew which I find is a far better experience.

You're missing Drupal, one of the largest open-source CMS' in the world.

This is where the maxim of open source being 'free as in puppies not free as in beer/lunch' comes from.

I started my career in open source and still strongly believe in FOSS tenets, but enterprises are looking more to de-risk their projects and platforms.

Risk is reduced when you have a vendor you can hold accountable for issues in the product, hence making proprietary solutions (and sometimes open source but wrapped in enterprise support solutions) the only viable choice for a business.

I’ve used the infection PHP library (https://github.com/infection/infection) in an API SDK that I maintain.

My experiences were very similar to the author’s when I first started using it. Even though my test coverage was near 100%, the mutations introduced revealed that in large part my tests were fallible due to assumptions I’d made when writing them.

I’ve incorporated mutation testing as the final step in my CI workflow as a test for my tests. It’s a fair bit of work the first time it’s run (especially with larger libraries), but in my opinion vital as a pairing with tests.
